Increase budget for cat neutering program in Cyprus

The Issue

Stray cats in Cyprus are everywhere. From the sea side, to restaurants, neighborhoods, they are everywhere. And they are constantly dying from road accidents, disease and malnourishment.

Did you know the average female cat can give birth every 2-3 months? To anywhere from 1-12 kittens?

As of 2020, Cyprus officially has 1.2 million residents (humans) but there are more cats than humans on this island, close to 1.5 million felines (unofficial estimate).

The current neutering programmes managed to neuter roughly 1,500 cats per year, which is an extremely small fraction of the total cat population in Cyprus. The budget for that has been an annual of 75,000 EUR.

The goal of this petition is to increase the budget to at least 500,000 EUR (6x times more) to increase the amount of cats being neutered on a yearly basis.

Help our feline friends by sharing this with as many people as you can.
